Meaning & Origin
a female given name, equivalent to English Seraphina
Serafina is a girl's baby name of Italian origin, the Italian form of Seraphina, from Hebrew seraphim, meaning 'burning ones' or 'fiery angels' — the highest order of angels described in the Book of Isaiah, surrounding the throne of God.
The Italian form Serafina has a warmth and musicality that the more English Seraphina lacks — rolling off the tongue with natural Mediterranean grace. It's the name of the angelic beings with six wings in Isaiah's vision, making it one of the most celestially beautiful names in the entire naming tradition.
